Introducing the EZ-FLO System

Having an EZ-FLO System is like having a full-time gardener fertilizing your property every time you water, carefully feeding the entire landscape and caring for the soil and all the plant life. EZ-FLO feeds gently, in small amounts, every time your irrigation system waters, allowing the plants to develop healthier root masses that make them stronger, more drought tolerant and less susceptible to insects and disease.

EZ-FLO Main Line Systems attach directly to your in-ground sprinkler and drip irrigation system. Every time you use your irrigation system, EZ-FLO releases small, precision doses of water soluble or liquid fertilizers into the water stream automatically. One system will feed through both sprinkler and drip irrigation zones without the need to make any adjustments or nozzle changes to compensate for water flow or water pressure.

Main Line Systems have been designed to connect directly to your irrigation system after an approved backflow prevention device. They are designed to withstand constant static water pressure present in your irrigation system. These units are constructed of heavy-walled, UV-Resistant PVC and have no moving parts making them very reliable, dependable and maintenance-free.

EZ-FLO technology has the ability to liquify highly concentrated, water-soluble fertilizers and proportion them into the irrigation water stream in extremely low doses. It is a unique form of fertigation. We call it "Micro-Dosing".

Micro-Dosing simply means that an EZ-FLO fertigation unit can proportion fertilizers into the irrigation water stream at very small parts per million (PPM) ratios. Currently our main-line units proportion at rates between 400:1 on the Fast Setting all the way to 15,000:1 on the slow setting.

This is equivalent at full concentrate of 67 PPM at the "Slow" setting and 2,500 PPM at the "Fast" setting. When calculating PPM for a given fertilizer blend, you then need to multiply by the percentage concentration (evidenced by the NPK numbers) for that fertilizer.

For example, with our 25-15-10 blend, that means that we can proportion N down to 16 PPM. If you use our 10-20-30 blend, this means that the parts per million N is 7. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the US Government has set a standard for what is considered Clean Drinking Water in the US of 10 PPM for Nitrogen. There are no such standards set for P or K.

The higher the concentration levels of the fertilizer (N-P-K), the more variability you can have in the final mix when it comes out of the sprinkler head or drip emitter. That's why we give you control over how fast the fertilizer can be dispensed.

In a more meaningful context, on the Slow setting, an EZ-FLO main-line unit proportions fertilizer out at one twentieth of a teaspoon per gallon of water. At the Fast setting, two teaspoons. Most people would agree that this is a very small amount. But this small amount works since it is applied every time with every drop of water.
